An Examination of the Infamous Frozen Hand
Monday, July 21st, 2008Winter has fallen quickly on the City and the Park. I hate it so. My research subjects shrivel up and die, or hide deep within the soil. I have nothing to capture, and so I spend my time reading in my laboratory, or sitting next to the fire in the common room, eavesdropping on the […]

Monday, July 21st, 2008Today, I discovered the sun-bleached remains of a park crab. I profess that the remains brought a tear to my eye.

Monday, July 21st, 2008I have recently made it known to the park urchins that I will pay a nickel to anyone who makes me aware of unusual occurrences within the Park. Tonight, this offer once again paid off in the form of a magnificent sight.
A young girl, probably not much older than ten years, was found loitering on the step of my boarding house by Mrs. Dowd. With much cajoling on her part, my land lady was able to encourage the girl to express herself in a terrible stutter, but it was eventually made known that she wished to collect a nickel for showing me something. Mrs. Dowd drew me down from my laboratory with this news, and I met with the child.
